If your partner is disabled then they will know that the government is both incompetent and oppressive

She gets to see a doctor, gets mental health care, and a much needed surgery she wouldn't otherwise get. I have a lot of issues with the government, but OHP isn't one of them.

OHP has one dentist in the city. It’s better then nothing but not by much.

Heck the government can’t even provide free healthcare for its own veterans.

It makes zero sense that any thinks a universal healthcare is going to be any better.

One of the veterans my stepdad worked with died around Christmas because the treatment that would have saved his life kept getting pushed back.
